BITTERSWEET KIWI

Wow. So I literally leave in the middle of mess and come back to see people saying they half-assed their performances and are now professional lip-synchers. Lovely. A member who left the thread said this to me, and you know what, I think they're absolutely right. I really hope people reflect on this. There's going to be a day when BTS aren't whole or aren't around as much as we'd like them to be, or maybe even not at all. I really hope people reflect on how much time and energy they wasted and expended focusing, nitpicking and harping on negative unsubstantiated BS, when there's so much concrete visible positivity to go around. It's reality that no show is perfect, BTS aren't perfect but personally, I thought they gave stellar performances in all aspects (including vocally) both nights I attended and more than that the members looked like they were having the time of their lives with the fans. They looked relaxed, in their element and completely in control. I was and am very proud of them. Everyone is welcome to their opinions, I simply prefer mine. I also don't blame them for realizing that this tour is a marathon and not a sprint, they're performing more than twice the amount of concert dates than they've had previously and I'm pretty sure they'd like to enjoy each one until the end, not feel like it's a chore because they expended all they had during the first half of the tour. I actually appreciate that they gave up a little more focus on choreo to spend more time being spontaneous, interacting, connecting and goofing off with fans. See ya'll on the flip side. I've met some amazing people on this thread, I'm officially taking a hiatus from OH maybe I'll pick it back up once the new site is up and running if that ever happens.

I’m really not kidding right now, can we for the love of all that is holy S.T.O.P. bringing Twitter bullshit here. I’m so sick of seeing it, it’s polluting this thread and cultivating negativity. I did not come back from my lovely high after the concerts to backtrack the toxic mess I deliberate leave OFF my Twitter feed. This thread is supposed to be a safe place for people to get away from the drama. If you want to spend time discussing twitter mess, please do it there with the people who enjoy the mess and attention. The thread rules are there for a reason. Gdi maybe it’s time I quit this place too. FML. Sent from my iPhone using OneHallyu

Posting this here for anyone who wanted to go to the concert on the 6th at the Staples Center. I kind of accidentally (well not really, I knew they were sold together) bought two tickets and I only need one. I paid $200 for a section PR6 ticket, and I'd like to get that price back. if anyone is interested or you know of someone who might be interested please send me a PM :D EDIT: Sold.

We...almost...got...AYO? I heard it's still happening and it's gotten more serious. An ARMY friend of mine actually signed up to do it at the NY airport (if I lived closer to LA I totally would have too). They recruited people from each city awhile ago and you have to go through a pretty serious vetting process where they decide if you're level-headed enough to handle it. I heard they aren't using purple ribbons but are locking arms so hopefully, crossing fingers it works and they were able to plan it well!

Sharing this here because I hadn't seen it posted. Jin's friends talking about their gaming group and Jin among other things, it's really cute. You can totally see why they all get along...

Another awards show ...this time coming from Genie. Can we just...not. Click here to view the Tweet

I agree, let them put their focus on the concerts. I'm sure those will be draining as it is.

I'm going to be really honest here and say...who cares? Pretty sure they've tried it before and pretty sure their complaints have had zero impact, so it is what it is.

I don't think this was posted here...I'm wondering if they spoke more in depth about this. If they did I hope they release the whole interview... http://imlistening.org/blogs/lauren-hoffman/bts-aim-create-social-change

Wow, same. Fire was such a good era, and I definitely missed the party atmosphere that came from that song lol this is bringing it back in so many ways, but also leveling it up a notch.

I love them for doing this, but it kind of pisses me off that they had to make this choice. I wish they'd given themselves the rest time, because the tour take a lot out of them already. Fans cry about not seeing them but they aren't the ones out there working their asses off, wtf.

ARMY roaching at its finest.

Thank you! He's so fine, but the styling this comeback put him over the edge.

LOL. Don't care what anyone says, still one of my favorite songs off Tear. It looks amazing live and it's clearly going to be such an awesome song to party to live at the concerts. It's like Wings 2.0 and that was a great ending song for Wings tour.

Wow, we're doing great!

Thank you. Can we have more of this and less of arguing? What's going on with this thread lately? Let's focus on what matters right now. This. I think it's important not to ignore that BTS has and is going to face an uphill battle, being silent about things that should be concerning (like MRL blocking ARMY for simply requesting BTS) is never a good look. That's not how our fandom works and I'm glad of it because our fighting attitude is what got BTS to where they are now. On the other hand, I feel it's important for us to pick our battles and be level-headed about it. Please understand people's frustration when they see that we should have likely gained close to 30M views today but didn't thanks to the Youtube freeze (that doesn't seem to apply to everybody lbr I don't see youtube freezes like this with Western artists). Also please understand fans who are asking people to keep calm and continue to keep BTS in the forefront of their mind. We're still the first face people see when it comes to BTS, and overreacting doesn't help anybody. Don't give up, and don't get discouraged. We can do this.

Guys, just wait for the confirmation. There's nothing we can do about it, don't freak out before there's a need to freak out. Let's relax and take things as they come. I'm just proud of the fact that regardless of deleted views or not we did something amazing by getting their views so high to begin with.

Tae correcting Hoseok's pronunciation of Singularity so many things to be thankful for here, I love their English interviews so much.

Can't believe we reached the goal of 50M in 24h. The fandom snapped. No matter what happens I'm proud of us, that's an amazing feat.

Are you me?

Help! I can't decide what gifs to put as my sig! There's too many great moments!

SIG.

So you LOL
